Service scope

Website development

Implement the agreed behavior with clear ownership of code, data and release decisions.

What a useful scope includes

  • Inventory the existing stack and integrations.
  • Define the smallest change that meets the requirement.
  • Keep configuration and private data separate from public assets.
  • Test affected routes, recovery and accepted contact behavior before release.

A practical review question

Can the site be reproduced from its source without hidden credentials or an unreleased shared dependency?

Set the boundary

A new implementation does not authorize publishing, DNS changes, credential creation or a change to existing recipients.

Agree on the deliverables, responsibilities and review process before work begins.
